A Chance for Delightful Aomea
en- the EAil1s.
The growth Of the city on the high
lands north and west Of town is some
thirg marvellous. Particularly is this
the case alorg the lines Of the Temple
and Second streets cable roads. This
part Of the city has long been recognized
as one Of the most delightful portions of
Los Angeles, but until the building of
the cable roads, Improvements progressed
but slowly. The cable-car furnishes the
most easy and pleasant manner of street
travel In this city. The man who re-
sides near one of these lines may live
long ways out and still be practically
closer to the heart Of the city than many
others whose homes are within few
blocks of town, but at Q distance from
the streetrailway lines. In view OF the
demand for cheep lots in this healthy
and delightful locality, syndicate, com
posed of Mr.. George w. kIng, >. ny,
ans, DIR. Wills, Thomas Kelly and
Mr.. Fudeckar, has purchased 100 acres
adjoining the we'll known Angeleho
Heights on the northwest, and have
subdivided it into building lots. The new
subdivision is to be known az the Mon
iana Tract" In company with Mr..
King q reporter of the HERALD yester.
terday visited the locality. The Mon
tana tract is undoubtedly one OF the
most pleasantly located sites In the city
for home. From nearly every portion
of the tract fine view may be OBJ
tanned and close by is Reservoir No: 4.
which, when the surroundings are inn
proved, which they shortly will be,
will make the most attractive lake In
Southern California. 1t is the intention
of the company to make line park
around the reservoir, which will form
most welcome addition to the resorts
about Los Angeles. Being close to the
Temple street cable line and the Os-
trich Farm Railway, this park will be
visited by thousands of people, and thus
the Montana Tract will be brought i'm
mediately into prominence and the
property must enhance rapidly in value.
The owners Of the Montana tract have
already graded fine broid avenue from
Temple street through the tract. For
portion of the way it will be known as
Lsguna avenue and for the remainder,
Montana avenue. Water is to be piped
over the tract by the Citizens Company,
and water may also be obtained at
moderate depth by wells. The tract is
distant about o mile and hall from the
site of the new Court House. The Tenn
ple street cable road takes passengers
to a point within half a mile of the
tract on the southwest and q horse car
line is to be constructed running IRON
the terminus Of the cable road directly
through the tract. The new ostrich
farm railroad. the contract for which
has been let, will cross the tract north
and south. By means Of these lines
residents can reach town in twenty
minutes. or in less time than
1t takes TO reach the most
central portions Of East Los Angeles or
Boyle Heights. 1t should be remem-
bered that no part of the city is more
healthful or delightful for residence
purposes than this locality. Malaria is
unknown and the clear bracing atmos.
pbere cannot be surpassed.
The soil is O rich loam,. free from
adobe. The land is above the frost line,
and trees, shrubs and vines are never
blighted. Water for irrigation purposes
may be obtained from the Canal and
Reservoir ditch which passes through the
tract. 1t will be seen by the above
facts that the Montana tract furnishes
another excellent opportunity for cheap
homes. This Il part of the city des-
tined to grow rapidly and no mistake
will be made by investing in such To-
cality. The HERALD will shortly furnish
more information a. to the desirability
of the Montana tract.
